General feedback.

Minor things, but:
-
The top level devnet page has a wider horizontal margin than the other pages. Compare the position of the Qt logo on http://developer.qt.nokia.com/ and http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums
-
Probably already on the schedule for opening the site to the public, but it would be nice to have a link back for Nokia/QDF controlled pages like the SDK download.

That's on purpose. The top level page has a fixed width, while the other ones are flexible.

Umm.... we have the Qt Home link on the top. What else is it that you're after?

- The link to “where you take the exam” search page is buried a bit low. This is the first thing I look for when I’m trying to work out if a course is reasonable.
I am not quite sure if I understand you correctly here. Can you give me a URL to the site where you were looking for the exam?
On the entry point "here()":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/, the link says "Learn more and find a test centre near you.". When you click it you get here: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/learning/certification. I would have expected to be able to find a direct link to where courses are held on this page.

A bit more feedback. When I posted this, it didn't give me the option to preview - not essential, but a "nice to have".
-
Also many forums allow user to attach some text files (say some debug logs or code snippet). I didn't find any option to do so here.
-
Ah, now I get the point of the link. Fair enough. I'll take a second look at it.
And yes, I want a preview button too. Perfectionists at work...
I am however not a big fan of attachments in forums. Uploading/pasting somewhere and linking to the file appears "cleaner" to me.Thoughts?

bq. I am however not a big fan of attachments in forums. Uploading/pasting somewhere and linking to the file appears “cleaner” to me.
Thoughts?They don't stand the test of time.
If I upload to a pastebin and link to it, the content on the pastebin will be gone within a week or a month. If someone wants to see what I uploaded 2 months later they're out of look.

[quote author="Alexandra Leisse" date="1273251493"]Good point. Hm. We have to think about it. Task tracked.[/quote]
May be you can have some minimum number of posts required to allow someone to upload an attachment. This could help filter spammers.

Personally I like attachments on forums - right near where the problem you're addressing lies. However I don't see them as "essential".
From a site admin point of view though you do need to consider a virus check on upload, including of the contents of compressed files/zips
